There is nothing more humorous when far-right personalities get run through the ringer. Yes, we have all seen “gays for Trump”, “Mexicans for Trump”, “Trans for Trump”, and so on. It always struck me as odd. However, it is simply people that turn toward class. Misguiding believing that their belief in far-right ideology will spare them from the hatred of MAGA. Ember Paradox is another that learned it the hard way.

Ember Paradox, popular YouTuber in right-wing circles, was exposed as a biological male. Even though during their livestream they use a female avatar and voice changer. Misleading people into think that they are a female. This has many of his followers a tad upset.

“On October 26, a user on X posted a clip of Ember Paradox’s voice changer temporarily glitching during a livestream,” according to Kotaku. “This spurred the VTuber’s right-leaning former allies into an investigative hate campaign, resulting in VTuber Strawb posting this on X in reply to one of Ember Paradox’s posts: “you are a biological man though, right?”

The personality considers themselves a he/him in their normal life. However, when on stream they consider themselves a she/her. This definitely angers some of the right-wing followers because the act outraged but probably knew all along.

Ember Paradox Angers Right-Wing Followers

“I don’t know,” Ember Paradox replied when asked about being “trans”. “I don’t have an answer for that. When I’m streaming, this is me. Any time I stream, this is me; Ember, the redhead, sometimes anime catgirl. Off stream? Outside of Discord? I’m just…normal. I’m not going to therapy, I’m not going through medications, I’m not spending my days dressing up or anything like that…on stream, this is me. That’s the best explanation that I can give you.”

This isn’t the first time a “pick me” ends up falling on their own sword. Not in a noble way, but realizing that their own community rejects them. This happened a lot to women playing as a trad wive. Minority families leaving states, like California, for deep red states, discovering they are not accepted because they are minorities.

Now, I am not rejoicing in the downfall of a person that has some self-discovery to do. I am rejoicing in the fact that they join a “cult” that looks down on people like them. Only to discover that their own privilege they clung to bite them in their face,
